Introductions discussion

Greetings all. I trust you enjoyed your holidays. My wife and I are relatively new to this way of life, so we’re still in the early phases of our journey. A few months back, I suggested chastity as a way for me to stop watching porn. After some long talks and test periods, she agreed to hold the key and keep me locked up. Her rule is that I can’t have an orgasm without her permission “ever again.” For me, this was thrilling news. The longest duration I’ve been kept so far has been two weeks. This might not sound like much to regulars here, but my wife tends toward the vanilla side and doesn’t talk about sex very often. She does like penetrative intercourse, though, which means she unlocks me roughly once or twice a month for that purpose. Sometimes her confidence grows, yet because she’s used to being submissive, she wavers between roles. I gently signal that I’d prefer more dominant behavior from her—like giving orders rather than asking questions. I’ve also expressed interest in getting spanked with her wooden hairbrush on a regular basis, though she hasn’t fully embraced it yet. I don’t push too hard; instead, I joke about these things and watch for her response. Occasionally, I complain slightly about being locked up to gauge how she feels. Her usual replies are “no,” “I don’t want to hear that,” or “be quiet.” I really enjoy the denial part of it and am happy to be unlocked only when she decides it’s time, which is working out nicely for us. On top of all this, I do whatever I can to make her life easier—handling dishes, laundry, foot rubs, back massages, etc.

My main question: does female dominance tend to grow alongside male chastity over time? Is there anything else I should be doing to encourage her further into a dominant mindset? Any tips for newcomers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
